On the ground floor, the fully-equipped kitchen offers the perfect chance to show off your cooking skills or simply prepare a delicious meal for family and friends. Adjacent to the kitchen is a dining room featuring a woodburning stove that will keep you toasty as you enjoy a homemade dinner, or even a takeaway with your evening tipple. Next, the sitting room with its gas fire is the ideal place to relax and spend some quality time with your loved ones, with doors that open up to combine your dining and sitting space.

The master room offers a super-king-size bed, perfect for a couple, while the second bedroom boasts a twin bed with a 3’ single and a 2’6” single, ideal for the children. Completing the interior is the bathroom, with a bath and walk-in shower, giving you the option of a quick refresh or an indulgent soak. Outdoors, make the most of the sunny days with a meal in the enclosed rear garden with its patio and furniture. Explore the bustling city of York, where you can delve into its rich history and culture, visiting the magnificent York Minster, the York Dungeon, a trip back in time at the York Castle Museum; explore the city centre and indulge in some of the gorgeous restaurants and shops that the city has to offer. Step outside the city walls and explore the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, where you can take in the breathtaking landscapes of rolling hills, picturesque villages, open countryside and wildlife rich forests. Enjoy a picnic in the grounds of beautiful Nunnington Hall or explore some of the many castles, abbeys and gardens in the area. The North York Moors National Park is also within reach by car, a paradise for nature lovers, hikers, cyclists and wildlife lovers. From moorlands, dales and coastlines to vast forests and ancient woodlands, this is the perfect spot to reconnect with nature. A stay in 202 Salisbury Terrace promises a memorable escape to Yorkshire, with something for everyone.
The city of York needs no recommendation, for it teems with interest for the holidaymaker: the Minster, its medieval walls, boat trips on the River Ouse, York Races, museums(including the famous National Railway Museum and the Castle Museum), and the internationally-renowned Jorvik Viking Centre and its "time trip" experience. Summer and winter, there is something to fascinate the whole family. Explore York’s quaint streets and hidden corners, or take an excursion further afield to the Dales, Moors or the coastal resorts of Scarborough, Whitby and Filey. Yorkshire is rich in stately homes, with Harewood House and Castle Howard just two of several within an hour’s drive. A cycling city boasting two theatres, character pubs and great shopping, York has it all.

Real home from home. Great welcome pack. Brilliant access to York. 10/15 min walk along the river. Owner was very helpful. Would definitely stay again.

The location was great for us, a lovely 20 minute walk along the river into the city. The host was really friendly and communicative and left the best welcome pack we have ever received at a cottage and we have stayed in a fair few! There were also little luxurious extras like robes and slippers. The only downsides were a couple of little items not working well (namely the dishwasher which was an issue completely out of the hosts control and we insisted we didn't need it fixing whilst we were there, but also the DVD player was well past it's best) but these things did not ruin our break and the owner is so great, I'm sure they will be tip top condition for the next guests. Also, the main bedroom is a little noisy if you are a light sleeper. The host kindly leaves first night ear plugs and I then bought some for the remainder of the week. My husband however slept like a baby, so this is not an issue at all if you sleep well! Despite the couple of tiny issues, we would return as the house is a great little find and York is a fabulous city to explore.
